“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
-Mahatma Ghandi
”...we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.”
Romans 5:3-5
And in the pulse there lies conviction.
-Maria Taylor (from Song Beneath the Song).
It is short, simple, and to the point and therefore can easily be overlooked. But really ponder this sentence and you will find that it has great meaning. I hope it speaks to you same as it did to me.
Even when you feel you are at your last breath, you must realize you’re not drowning. There is still oxygen. There is still life. You are still on land. Do not forget it, do not let yourself forget that there is hope.
-Victoria Frances Krushenick
I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people.

And this one kid Mark at the party who gave me this came out of nowhere and looked at the sky and told me to see the stars. So, I looked up, and we were in this giant dome like a glass snowball, and Mark said that the amazing white stars were really only holes in the black glass of the dome, and when you went to heaven, the glass broke away, and there was nothing but a whole sheet of star white, which is brighter than anything but doesn’t hurt your eyes. It was vast and open and thinly quiet, and I felt so small.
